At Multistate Transmission® Fort Worth, our specialized technicians are masters of the transmission rebuild. But what exactly is a transmission rebuild? And, why would you choose a rebuild rather than just repairing any damaged parts, or installing a new transmission? What is a Transmission Rebuild? Most transmission problems aren’t caused by failure of the hard parts in a transmission like the gears, drums, valve bodies, and external cases. Most transmission issues are caused by failure of the soft parts – things like the bands, seals, gaskets, bushings, O-rings, filters, and clutches. A transmission rebuild is done with a rebuild kit. Kits vary depending on the level of rebuild, but a full master rebuild kit will include hundreds of soft parts. In a transmission rebuild, the technician removes the transmission from the chassis, and then tears it down to get at the interior parts.

At Multistate Transmission® Haltom City, one of the most frequent questions our transmission specialists get is, “How do I know whether I need a complete transmission rebuild or if the transmission can just be repaired?” The answer often lies in the condition, location, and cost of the parts that need repair or replacement. A transmission is made up of both hard and soft parts. Hard parts include the gears, crankshaft, bearings, pistons, and other components. Soft parts include gaskets, seals, bands, brushings, and other components. Which parts are weak or failing will influence the time, cost, and complexity of your transmission rebuild. While any number of things can go wrong with a transmission, it’s not usually the hard parts that fail. More often the soft parts will show wear or failure first. And, soft parts tend to go bad at about the same rate – so when one fails, the others tend to be on the brink as well. The number of parts and the location of those parts can i ... read more
